Title: How long do you think this insanity will last?
Post by: isthereanyneed on January 17, 2013, 02:57 pm
My guess is every thing will be back to normal either tomorrow or Monday at latest to many people complaining and rightly so.

thing is even if they said a week, it is so easy to make multiple accounts that they can be made in advance.. it is not like you can do an IP block on someone

as much as i dislike it i get why they doing it

maybe to avoid vendors to create multiple accounts, so that they can talk good on themselves.. hmm...

Could be, but if they really want to they still can of course. It's gonna take some more effort though.

I can't see any other use for this either, I've seen people with loads of post writing about nonsense or asking questions that have been asked many times before and I've seen very helpfull people (who only pos lab results every now and then, for example) who have only ten or twenty posts. It's so pointless.

This is a REALLY shitty solution  >:(

Suddenly, you cant continue the conversations you have in various threads, before you have sent a lot of meaningless msgs in this newbie section. ....sucks....

This. Would have been nice if accounts created before some random date could have been excluded.

Ugh this is the worst timing :/ as a buyer who hasn't had a lot of problems, i don't have a large post count. But the one time my stuff is missing, boom! post limit.

Any time delay to post is pointless, definitely. Spammers will just make accounts in advance and slowly use them up as available.
Making minimum posts stops that but they really should've made it affect only those who didn't have accounts already..

it should be taken care of right away 50 posts is way to many
Title: Re: How long do you think this insanity will last?
Post by: loscoy321 on January 18, 2013, 05:12 am
I think this is to help with 1.keeping sr more exclusive 2.keeping spam controlled and 3.keep vendors from posting tons of fake positive reviews. Once I hit 50 I think I will be glad they did it.  ;D

Post by: DonCoyote on January 18, 2013, 05:26 am
It is a shame it needs to be done but it will stop scammers (with hope) and less than honest vendors giving themselves reviews

There has to be some kind of alternative that is more nuanced than this...
